Sheep husbandry; with an account of different breeds, and general directions in regard to summer and winter management, breeding and the treatment of . r cattilas^inous connectionbetween the ribs, to the anus. In making this and all similar incision8^hold the edge of the knife upward, guarding its point with the fore-fingerBo that the viscera shall not be wounded. The abdomen—the whole cav-ity of the trunk back of the diaphragm or midrifl—is now laid openIt is usually necessary for a better examination of the parts to make crossincisions part way between the diaphragm and anus, extending down oneach side several inches toward the backbone. I shall describe the viscera in the order in which 1 have usually exam-ined them. j On opening the abdomen the omentum or caul is found covering the mJtestines. It is a thin, and, in a normal state, colorless and transparenfcJstructure, formed of two membranes, between which extend streaks of fatCin the form of a net. The external appearance of the stomachs is given in the following cutof those of a young sheep which died of disease. Their anangement iseli^htly different in the animal. Fif. THE STOMACHS. •. The CBSoplingns or (pjllet, entering the rumen or paunch. h. h. The rumen, or paunch, occupying three-fourths of the abdomen. e. The reiicuhiin, or honeycomb—the 2d Btomnch. d. Tlie maniphis, or many folds—the 3d stomach. e. The abomasum, or Ith stomach. /. The commencement of the duodenum or first The place of the pylorus, a valve which separates the contents of the abomasum and duodenum. The walls of the rumen or paunch consist of four coats or tunics—1st,the peritoneal or outer coat; 2d, the muscular ; od, the mucous, coveredwith papilhe, or little protuberances, from which (or glands under which)is secreted a peculiar fluid to soften and prepare the food for re-mastica*^lion ; and, 4th, the inner or cuticular coat, a thin, entirely insensible meibranc, which defends the mucous coat f
